Auto adjusting via HFM central!

My sugestion: take off the throttle body! clean it meticulouse, clean all the oil, carbon, residous, clean all the little tubes & install again (trust me, it works)

1994 E320 Wagon
Thanks for suggestion

Just purchased this wagon and am beginning my entry into the world of MB. I want to adjust the idle as the car shudders when in gear at a stoplight. If I hold down the brake and slightly press on the gas the shudder disappears. The idle seems to be set at appx. 650 rpm. I think the shudder would stop if it were set at 750 rpm or so. I guess the idle is controlled through an electronic engine control module. Taking it into a shop tomorrow to have it adjusted. I'll remember your suggestion also. Thanks!
